''Ubisoft has released three multiplayer focused games in as many years. This is not news or that surprising. Nearly every big name in the industry has at least one title that focuses purely on multiplayer. If successful, a good multiplayer title can support a company for years to come.''
The iconic stealth-action Syphon Filter series is nowhere to be seen, while Sony's busy planning more ridiculous live services.
Sometimes bringing back an old IP is like digging up a corpse and peeing on it, just look at Duke Nukem Forever, be careful what you wish for.
Intercept Games, the developer of space sim Kerbal Space Program 2, appears to have been shut down by parent company Take-Two.
This year is starting to look like it's going to have an infamous nickname at some point in the future.
As part of previously-announced layoffs, Take-Two Interactive is closing Intercept Games and Roll7.
I loved Rollerdrome and was looking forward to a Rollerdrome 2. 😐
Don't want to be melodramatic but as far you can be upset over video-game news ... bit heartbroken.
I feel like there's a trend of well made games like this going largely ignored by the gaming audience. It's quite frustrating. I hope the devs form a new studio but I suppose they'd have to start again from scratch.
Olliolli 2, olliolli world and rollerdrome are some of my favorite indies of all time. This industry is disgusting lately.
I loved Olli Olli.
I wanted to like Rollerdrome a lot more than I actually did. Shame about the studio though
Popular theory is that the games are released with issues, they lose players, they listen to the fans, patch them and add things, then players come back.
Because they aren't very enjoyable?
Compare that with classics like Halo 2 and Bad Company 2 which still have scores of players and would have many more if the companies actually made working remakes.
I wonder if saturation is becoming an issue for Ubisoft. They're releasing multiple major multiplayer games a year, each claiming to have a long lifespan of content ahead of it. Those audiences will inevitably overlap.
Becuase their games are boring and repetitive and have issues at launch.
ubisoft just lacks gaming knowledge
